Autism and other mutations?

Not all is lost. Not yet. According
to H.P. Blavatsky’s Esoteric Buddhism,
we still have a few years of Kali Yuga in which to catch up. Almost another
320,000 years. But time flies. So lets hurry and get back to Charlie Rose.

The same series organized by PBS which
compelled me to write “The Brain” blog, also brought us the program on Autism.
Alas, as always, the famous doctors agreed that anything that deviates from the
norm, from average, is a sickness.

“If you are not like me, you must be sick”, seems to be
their dictum. Well, they’re almost right—in part.

Our way of life is organized to best serve those who conform
to each other. We drive on the same side of the road. We eat similar foods
(mostly triple burgers? I said similar, not same). We try to speak the same
language although elocution seems to be a lost art. Etc, etc.

But there is a deeper, a much deeper problem.

The differences between us originate in 3 different sources.
One, they can be genetic—we inherit our inadequacies. Two, we acquire them
through lack of understanding how the world works (this includes the
contagions). And three, it results from nature’s attempts to advance our
evolution.

That item last has been discovered, though not yet confirmed
by scientists, only some 5-6 years ago. Autism is the result not of deviations
of a single gene, but whole groups of genes, which combine in a different order
only AFTER they leave the donor. This is true of both sperm and/or ovum. By
that I mean that BOTH parents were completely ‘normal’, meaning that they could
cope in the environment in which most people function. Yet their child, male or
female, is born with autistic tendencies, often demonstrating enormous
skills/talents in some fields of endeavour.

In cases of autism, only one of the three causative factors
is present. From perfectly ‘normal’ parents, in perfectly ‘normal’ environment,
the children are wired differently.

This single fact will, one day, lead the scientists not to
attempt (almost always unsuccessfully) to ‘cure’ the autistic condition, but
try to cooperate with nature in her evolutionary attempts to advance our species.

Science, like evolution, advances very slowly—at snail’s
pace. The material reality is a work in progress. Many mutations don’t work.
But one day, some man or woman will become very famous by advancing the theory
stated above. And then, usually it takes about 10-15 years before a discovery
reaches the financial coffers that enable the ‘scientists’ to begin their
research in earnest, we shall change our view of autism. We shall observe the
children with curiosity and admiration as one would observe heroes who took the
first steps to manifest Homo Superior.

If you are very young, and if you live long enough, you
might actually see it happen. Good luck. Of course, once the ‘scientists’
recognize the truth of my words, we the ‘normal’ people will become redundant.
Except for those who will be looking forward to their next reincarnation.

About Me

An architect, sculptor, and prolific writer was educated in Poland and England. Since 1965 he has resided in Canada. His special interests cover a broad spectrum of arts, sciences, and philosophy. His fiction and non-fiction attest to his particular passion for the scope and the development of Human Potential. Under his real name, he published seven non-fiction books sharing his vision of reality. He also composed two collections of poems in his original native tongue in which he satirizes his view of the world while paying homage to Bozena Happach's sculptures. As an architect [RIBA, MRAIC, OAQ ret.] he designed a number high rise buildings in Montreal, including Regency Hyatt Hotel (now Delta), Place Mercantile, Headquarters for the Mutual Alliance, as well as a number of low and middle rise structures for private clients. In the National Capital he was the associate in charge of design of Royal Bank Headquarters on Sparks Street.
